\VILLIAM S. \IOLEXVEE, OF NE\V YORK, N. Y.

LAMP.

QPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 320,081, dated June 16,1885.

Application filed June 9, 1884.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, XVILLIAM S. MeLEwEn, of New York, in the county ofNew York and State of New York, have invented a certain new and usefulImprovement in Lamps, of which the following is a specification.

I will describe a lamp embodying my improvement, and then point out thevarious features in a claim.

The accompanying drawing is a sectional elevation of a lamp embodying myimprovement.

A designates a hanger, which may be of any suitable style. It isprovided with a loop, a, whereby it may be connected with a ceiling orother support. It also has pulleys b. The lower part, B, of thelampconsists, essentially, of a body, 0, arms d, extending therefrom, andholderseforoil-reservoirs O. Chains or cords D extends from the arms (Iup over the pulleys b of the hanger and thence down to a counterbalanceweight, E. The body 0 of the lower part, B, of the lamp is hollow andcontains a fan, G, and a motor, H, for pro pelling the fan. Preferably,the said body 0 will be made of two sections, the lower of which will bedetaehably secured to the upper by screws or otherwise. In such case thelower section will have the motor and fan secured in it. Bydetaehingitthe cleaning and repairing of the parts which it containswill be facilitated.

The motor H consists of a spring contained in a suitable barrel, andsecured at one end to the barrel and at the other end to a shaftextending through the barrel. This shaft is held against turning, exceptin one direction, for the purpose of winding the spring, by a ratchetand pawl, in a wellknown manner. The barrel is rotated by the spring andis provided with a gear-wheel from which motion is imparted to a trainof wheels of any suitable kind. The fan is mounted on one of the shaftsof the train of wheels. A stop, 8, consisting of a lever fulerumed atabout the middle and having one end adapted to engage with one of thetrain of gear-wheels and the other end protruding through the body a may(No model.)

be used. Then, whenever the train of wheels is desired to be stopped,this lever may be manipulated so as to engage with its gearwheel. Atother times it will be disengaged therefrom. The body 0 below the fan isperforated to admit air. The arms (I are hollow and communicate with thebody 0 at one end and at the other end with the holders 6 for theoil-reservoirs C. These holders 0 are also hollow and are considerablylarger than the oil-reservoirs. The oil-reservoirs are socured to coversfor the holders 0, and are suspended thereby. Air, put in motion by thefan, passes from the body 0 to the arms (I, thence to the holders 0, andthence through the air-distributers or draft-plates of burners g,mounted on the oil-rescrvoirs. On the burners are mounted globes it. Nochimney need be used. The oil-reservoirs may be removed from the holders0 at pleasure. Over the body 0 is mounted a device, I, which may beanother oil-reservoir provided with a burner and the ordinaryappurtenances or a mere ornament. It may be wholly or partly detachablefrom the holder. Its under side is made in the form of an inverted cone,to form a spreader for deflecting the air put in motion by the fan intothe arms (1. Any number of the arms (l and their appurtenances may ofcourse be used.

\Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is

The combination, in a lamp, of a body having openings near one end, afan arranged within the body for forcing air to the openings, a motorfor operating the fan, a spreader above the fan, hollow arms extendingout wardly from the body, and lamp'reservoir holders supported at theouter ends of said arms, said arms forming passages through which airmay pass from the fan to the burners, which are arranged on thereservoir at the open top of the holders, substantially as specified.
